A Work in Progress...
The line drawing:
Fine drawing pens loaded with india ink are usually used to transfer the
linear, graphical part of the drawing to the panel. However, I
have recently been experimenting with using a silverpoint stylus for my
underdrawing. The final result is softer, warmer and
subtler than
india ink. That subtlety is often lost in the intervening
layers of paint, however, I find it is useful to establish the
mood from the very beginning of the piece.
The main elements of the composition are described using line, texture,
shading and form. The project here at this stage looks like a soft
pencil drawing. The decisions made now
guide many aspects of the final result, so it is important to be
sure and thus avoid pentimento.
